Illinois redistricting map coming out soon.

Looks like Adam Kinzinger and Rodney Davis will lose their seats. I say good. As long as the SCOTUS allows partisan gerrymandering and Republicans are using it to their massive advantage, Dems need to do the same or we have no chance at keeping the House. I hope New York goes hard too - they can eliminate 5 GOP seats.

repubs WILL do their best to eliminate blue seats. We need to counter where we can.

Where I live, we have a tri-partite panel who does redistricting, so probably won't be a major shift in WA's 10 seats, which is fine. We're already 7-3 D/R split.
